This channel hopes to be a safe place to consider and discuss theological ideas without fear of intrusion (or embarrassment) from the "Evangelical Industrial Complex." Daniel Long & Steve Kozar wanted to have a place to go into detail about their move from Evangelicalism to Confessional Lutheran theology, and all of the interesting issues surrounding that move.
Why "The Wartburg Castle?"
From 1521 to 1522, Martin Luther hid at the castle, after he had been excommunicated by Pope Leo X. It was during this period that Luther translated the New Testament into German in just ten weeks. This was a huge step in the Protestant Reformation.
Just as Martin Luther needed a safe place to hide from the Pope, we hope this channel will also be a safe place to talk about the theological issues that often get ignored in the shallow streams of modern Evangelicalism.
The Bible. The Liturgy. The Sacraments. Church History. Philosophy. Let's talk about it!

Did he ever mention the name of Jesus?
I am very interested in this. I have learnt soooo much through you guys, Steve Kozar and Chris Roseborough. I have bought the lutheran Bible which I absolutely love. Thanks for this Dan!!
God bless you!!!
"'Just Christian' is almost always a code word for revivalist Baptist." As an Anglican and former Non-Denom, I wholeheartedly agree. Mike Winger hath no jurisdiction in this realm!
It was actually a Jewish man that organized the nazi protests in Skokie
He reminds me of Redeemed Zoomer with better theology
1 Tim 3:15...The Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth
With respect, this interviewer did a poor job in this colloquy. He was steering the conversation instead of letting Jim tell his story. The interviewer's role, particularly when the person interviewed is sharing a personal story, is to ask questions to flesh out the narrative, not direct the conversation. Interviewing requires skill and at best is an art, and here the interviewer unfortunately didn't demonstrate the necessary skills.
The struggle I have with confessional Lutheranism is the matter of Law & Gospel approach. Throughout the thread of scripture God never or at least most usually never, uses the law first then the Gospel when dealing with His wayward people. Read even the Ten Commandments and look at how it starts. He starts with v.1-2. There’s only Gospel there then His will for us is laid out.
Just Sundays?
Also, with his understanding of confession being as poorly formed as Luther's, no wonder.
This message needs to be heard in 2024 perhaps even more than it was needed in 2010! We have so much misrepresentation of Biblical Christianity and overt false teaching in the professing "church" now! Any God-fearing Christian is convicted accordingly to bring Light into the darkness.
I on the other hand, belong to the Church that Jesus Christ established on Peter the rock and sole key holder, way before the later development of the thousands of Man made Protestant churches! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink

Take some time to have further reflection regarding Martin Luther - how well do you know him? EXPOSED: the Myth of Martin Luther m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqOo2a-kqZS5k6Q.html Martin Luther was probably POSSESSED m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5Z1x61rYLafkqg.html
Thank You for this channel and the Gospel. That is what I cling to. Plus leading me to find a Wels here in Minneapolis. The Charismatic church broke me ...then your channel F4F, long for truth, many more. Your newest Hit the Bar you did the gospel right up first to JO beautiful!
Thank you so much for commenting!! -Steve K

The best denominational jokes are the Lightbulbs. Q: How many Catholics or Orthodox people does it take to change a lightbulb? A: They use candles. Q: How many Charismatics/Pentecostals does it take to change a light bulb? A: About 10. 1 to change the lightbulb & 9 to cast out the spirits of darkness. Q: How many Baptists does it take to change a lightbulb. A: Change? Q: How many Church of Christ members does it take to change a lightbulb? A: There aren't lightbulbs in the New Testament. I think the Methodist version had them forming project committees and sub-committees. I don't remember exactly.
Hahaha!!!
This is an aside, but it's so refreshing to hear a young man speaking with proper grammar😊
This is a poor and dishonest representation of the Catholic faith. The Catholic church does not teach salvation from works.
Marcus has GREAT taste! Horus videos are the best!
Ah, Madison. The California of Wisconsin!😂 Blessings from Lake in the Hills, IL
Fenestra is the Latin word for window. Haven't heard that word in a while!
Marcus is one sharp fellow. He should consider becoming a theologian and maybe a pastor. The church can certainly benefit from young men like him!
February is a great month for great people! My b-day is also in February. Happy birthday to all February people!
How dare you denigrate all of those poor unfortunate souls who weren't born in February!
My husband and I will be celebrating 41 years of marital bliss on 2/14! Yeah,I know. We are THOSE people😂
I look forward to this series. My husband and I are considering the confessional Lutheran church, but we have a lot of questions. I'm not sure this will answer them, but I'm sure it will be good either way. We so appreciate the time invested both here and at Long for Truth.
I'm considering the same move. Right now I am a solid Baptist Church. I love the people there, but I watch online Lutheran services. We are planning to move out of state in the next few years, I think I will join a Lutheran church at that time.
I recommend Christian Dogmatics by John Theodore Mueller, this is a condensed version of Pieper's Dogmatics.
Here's a lengthy, but well-made commentary on Acts 2:38 from the Bible Believers Commentary from Thomas Nelson: "Peter’s answer was that they should repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. First, they were to repent, acknowledging their guilt, and taking sides with God against themselves. Then they were to be baptized for (or unto) the remission of their sins. At first glance, this verse seems to teach salvation by baptism, and many people insist that this is precisely what it does mean. Such an interpretation is impossible for the following reasons: In dozens of NT passages, salvation is said to be by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:12; 3:16, 36; 6:47; Acts 16:31; Rom. 10:9, for example). No verse or two could conceivably contradict such overwhelming testimony. The thief on the cross had the assurance of salvation apart from baptism (Luke 23:43). The Savior is not stated to have baptized anyone, a strange omission if baptism is essential to salvation. The Apostle Paul was thankful that he baptized only a few of the Corinthians-a strange cause for thankfulness if baptism has saving merit (1 Cor. 1:14-16). It is important to notice that only Jews were ever told to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (see Acts 22:16). In this fact, we believe, is the secret to the understanding of this passage. The nation of Israel had crucified the Lord of glory. The Jewish people had cried out, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matt. 27:25). The guilt of the Messiah’s death was thus claimed by the people of Israel. Now, some of these Jews had come to realize their mistake. By repentance they acknowledged their sin to God. By trusting the Lord Jesus as their Savior they were regenerated and received eternal forgiveness of sins. By public water baptism they dissociated themselves from the nation that crucified the Lord and identified themselves with Him. Baptism thus became the outward sign that their sin in connection with the rejection of Christ (as well as all their sins) had been washed away. It took them off Jewish ground and placed them on Christian ground. But baptism did not save them. Only faith in Christ could do that. To teach otherwise is to teach another gospel and thus be accursed (Gal. 1:8, 9). An alternative interpretation of baptism for the remission of sins is given by Ryrie: This does not mean in order that sins might be remitted, for everywhere in the New Testament sins are forgiven as a result of faith in Christ, not as a result of baptism. It means be baptized because of the remission of sins. The Greek preposition eis, for, has this meaning “because of” not only here but also in such a passage as Matthew 12:41, where the meaning can only be “they repented because of [not in order to] the preaching of Jonah.” Repentance brought the remission of sins for this Pentecostal crowd, and because of the remission of sins they were asked to be baptized. Peter assured them that if they repented and were baptized, they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. To insist that this order applies to us today is to misunderstand God’s administrative dealings in the early days of the church. As H. P. Barker has so ably pointed out in The Vicar of Christ, there are four communities of believers in the Book of Acts, and the order of events in connection with the reception of the Holy Spirit is different in each case. Here in Acts 2:38 we read about Jewish Christians. For them, the order was: Repentance. Water baptism. Reception of the Holy Spirit. The conversion of Samaritans is recorded in Acts 8:14-17. There we read that the following events occurred: They believed. They were baptized in water. The apostles prayed for them. The apostles laid their hands on them. They received the Holy Spirit. In Acts 10:44-48 the conversion of Gentiles is in view. Notice the order here: Faith. Reception of the Holy Spirit. Water baptism. A final community of believers is made up of disciples of John the Baptist, Acts 19:1-7: They believed. They were rebaptized. The Apostle Paul laid his hands on them. They received the Holy Spirit. Does this mean there were four ways of salvation in the Book of Acts? Of course not. Salvation was, is, and always will be on the basis of faith in the Lord. But during the transition period recorded in Acts, God chose to vary the events connected with the reception of the Holy Spirit for reasons which He knew but did not choose to reveal to us. Then which of these patterns applies to us today? Since Israel nationally has rejected the Messiah, the Jewish people have forfeited any special privileges they might have had. Today God is calling out of the Gentiles a people for His Name (Acts 15:14). Therefore, the order for today is that which is found in Acts 10: Faith. Reception of the Holy Spirit. Water baptism. We believe this order applies to all today, to Jews as well as to Gentiles. This may sound arbitrary at first. It might be asked, “When did the order in Acts 2:38 cease to apply to Jews and the order in Acts 10:44-48 begin?” No definite date can be given, of course. But the Book of Acts traces a gradual transition from the gospel’s going out primarily to Jews, to its being repeatedly rejected by the Jews, to its going out to the Gentiles. By the end of the Book of Acts the nation of Israel had been largely set aside. By unbelief it had forfeited any special claim as God’s chosen people. During the Church Age it would be reckoned with the Gentile nations, and God’s order for the Gentiles, outlined in Acts 10:44-48, would apply.
I was searching Steve Kozar's channel for some information on the Lutheran church and came across this channel so ive subbed and looking forward to watching your content. 🙏🙏🙏
Y'all talk about the greek for "washing" in titus 3:5 .... U also Looked at ephesians 5:26 "washing her by the Word" ... its the same greek word in this verse as well as u said. We should know that she was washed by God's Word just reading the context. This goes along with John 3 ... We are born again by the water and the spirit ..... in other words .... We are born again by God's Word & The Holy Spirit. Which makes perfect sense bcz. To be saved (justified), we must first HEAR the gospel & be moved upon by The HS.
jesus is a man, not a religion.
No. Jesus is The God-Man. God incarnate.
So many adverts - had to stop watching
He was saved and pardon by JESUS HIMSELF, no baptism needed. Why so difficult to understand ? Only HE knows what HE"S doing and why is doing it.
Please come back to Holy Mother Church!! I know it's really hard to be a faithful Catholic, but your not alone!
You ought to visit a Confessional Lutheran church yourself and discover the reasons why Jim decided to become a Lutheran....
Where are parts 2 and 3?
if the bishop would have actually read my letter, he would have quickly realized that I had catechized myself evangelical and would have possibly excommunicated me. But of course, the Roman church never took what the kids were doing seriously, so now look at 'em.
From what I know of him Lutheran himself is not a good Lutheran.
I really enjoyed the conversation about our descent to where we are. Studying church history is such a completely foreign idea to most American Christians especially mainstream evangelical Christians. And then there's "No Creed but Christ." This phrase coming out of the Pietism movement if not before and brought over by the 1800s Church Fathers. It's so ingrained in our American rebel identity. It sounds like this is a video idea! I hope to see you make it. Thanks to all for the videos.
I love Paulette and want her to visit us in Cali.
Your painting are amazing! I can't believe they are painting. I thought they were photos. I appreciate you Kozar!
Evangelical ersatz pope Dave Ramsey hobnobs with all the heretical monied vision casters.
Finally! Another Wartburg Castle Production. This was a well done interview... I don't mean the cooked kind... I mean done well! 😁
Hahaha!! Thanks, my friend!
The humor Steve and Rosebrough bring broke through my Charismatic indoctrination. I appreciate it so much. I was thoroughly involved with a Brownsville-esque "revival" in the 1990s. My brother in law pointed me towards Prophecy Bingo after I had shared some doubts I was having regarding our theology. I think my dad even attended a Glory of Zion church in Dallas for reference. It was life changing.
Good stuff. Messed Up Church is also great.
I’ve officially unsubbed from the “Sean here” channel. I say this as someone who has followed his “ministry” and financially supported him. He’s not only a proud slanderer, but a hypocrite who has often contradicted himself. I’ll say it: Sean Christie is a WOLF in sheep’s clothing and is to be marked and avoided. I dug into his past a bit, found (secret) social media accounts which are disturbing (sinful - perverse, and promotion of false religions), and have also identified Sean as your typical snake-oil/marketing MLM/pyramid salesman who only follows trending algorithms in his attempt to make a profit. I truly believe the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Sean doesn’t believe half the stuff he says because money and subs are his god. He’s a world-class bully and I doubt he’s even a true Christian. He’s all about himself and profiting off of God. Glad I unsubbed from that creepy heretic.
I figured it out. Jorgenson is a pastor in the AFLC a Lutheran Pietistic body. It all makes sense now. Fisk is in the right becsuse Pietism has badly damaged real Lutheranism.
I need a church. Have my teen grands im raising. Please help
calvary chapel in your area.
@@peterzinya1 LOL calvary chapel? Wow. Dont go there.
I cant vouch for every calvary in the USA but there are some saved folks to be found in them where one will find zero in Lutheran or catholic churches. The saved have nothing to do with these Mary worship cults of the pedophile costume holymen.
